VanillaSkyGirl 6 #27 March 3, 2006 So, do people have different write back rules on different websites? On DZ.com, I try to respond to all PMs, but I have different rules on Myspace. If I receive a message or comment from a friend/acquaintance on MySpace, I'll always eventually respond. It's just plain rude not to do so. Likewise, if I send a message or comment to an acquaintance or "friend and don't hear back from that person, I think it's very rude. If I have a random message from a total stranger(male) on Myspace, I might not answer at all, unless he/she skydives, has similar work background or knows a mutual friend well. Also, I won't add men who obviously just want to collect women on his friend list, but who have nothing in common with me. If it's a skydiver, pilot, rockclimber, designer, artist, photographer, etc, then I often feel ok about adding him, especially if the person points out that he's a friend of a friend of a friend. I'm a little more lenient about adding unknown women as friends, although I wonder why some of the women on there have asked to be my friend, if I can see no obvious similarities. I also expect to keep in contact with my friends, so if someone hasn't written or I have written to them ever, then I don't see the point in having them as friends. Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to hear if people think differently about writing back on Myspace. Edited for typo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos340 1 #32 March 3, 2006 OK.. Im Busted. I almost NEVER respond to My Space comments. Generally because they are usually just that. "Comments". I guess the appropriate thing to do would be to respond but I dont generally take My Space as serious. As for adds.. I am guily of having almost all Females listed as Friends. If a Female asks for an Add (And I know who she is.. Even if I dont really know her..) She gets it. If some random Guy asks..I usually ignore it unless I really know them. Double standard and not very polite of me. Something I need to work on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sent you a Myspace invite and message a while back, heard nada. But I just figured you didn't remember me and you are a bit of the girl collector on the site(hey, nothing wrong with that). But for message replies, if it's someone I don't know I never expect any message back, especially if it's the opposite sex. Some friends I know don't reply back right away, if at all sometimes, but that's just them. Other people I can pretty much count on to reply back within seconds. People are just different and I try not to read too much into it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanillaSkyGirl 6 #36 March 3, 2006 Hahaha...no, I wasn't talking about you. I don't even know what you mean about being busted! I do consider you a friend, even though we rarely talk. I agreed to add you because you asked me, and I know you and think that you're sweet. With comments on Myspace, I'm not looking for people to answer me every time, and I also don't answer them every time, but I try. However, if I send a message and someone doesn't answer, I assume that person needs to learn manners or doesn't want to talk. There are only two people, one guy and one girl, who haven't answered a message, and the guy even asked me to be the friend, not the other way around. I don't neccessarily think very highly of them or their manners, even though they are both acquaintances, whom I will run into in the skydiving community. P.S. Sorry Arthur! I've stopped replying to your PMs abruptly more than once. My apologies online because I didn't mean to do it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #40 March 3, 2006 QuoteI wish I knew how many people are *not* responding to your post just to be a wiseass. You do know that, from the message info: "Post #7 of 39 (295 views)". So only 39 people at most have replied, and many of those are from the same people. While 295 have viewed the message. Therefore, (295 - 39 = ...) at least 256 have ignored that message to date! That must really give him a complex - an 87% no-response rate! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #47 March 3, 2006 Although there can be many different circumstances, overall I believe it is quite rude. I always make it a point to respond to every pm I receive, even if it is only a brief message. It's just common courtesy.

TheAnvil 0 #48 March 4, 2006 Doesn't bother me too much. I'm so fucking scatterbrained sometimes I forget to call people back. Like skymama, sometimes I'll mean to respond to a PM or an email then get pulled away by something and totally forget. I figure that if I forget something and it irks somebody, they'll call me or email me or something. If I'm ticked at somebody, I just won't return their calls, emails, or anything of that nature - but unlike when I'm scatterbrained, that's on purpose. Hehehehe. If I know it irks them, all the better. I don't get ticked off at too many people other than my boss, though, normally. It takes a lot to arouse gentle Vinny to anger, though it has been done recently. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Apollinaire 0 #49 March 4, 2006 I have a control freak friend (who is clueless that she's a cf) who goes on and on about how she "manages" her email so that it doesn't "manage" her. Then, she'll email and ask me to go to lunch during a certain week. I respond back to say cool, when and where. Then it is like the freakin' desert. Nothing, nada. Two months go by and she does the same thing again. This has happened more than once. This last time she emailed me in November to go have lunch again. I'm considering answering her email sometime this month. Maybe. If I feel like it. Yes, to answer your q, it drives me insane! I'm so prompt about stuff like that and write ty notes, etc. The rest of the world just doesn't operate on my plan and I try to adapt though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
